#redacted rambles

[ ] Milo spends more on Aggro's food than Asher spends on fruits and vegetables (he eats none, unless Babe forces him too, the man has the most picky eater vibes ever) (while living with David, he had to hide veggies in sauces like parents do for their kids just so Ash could eat something with nutrients)

[ ] But he will willingly down redbulls, matching his intake level with Tank's/Darlin's (canon I think, in Sam's video he speaks about Darlin having to start a day with one. Asher's favourite redbull flavour is blue edition blueberry according to Erik's Reductive Audio)

[ ] Treasure works as a dealer/bartender in a casino - Porter can always drive them to work or pick them up without much worry about the sunlight as they work nights. They hate gambling (dealer as in the one who gives cards by the table, is it really the name for the job? Google translator told me so)

[ ] Freddie is shorter than Bright (just a little bit) (he's still tall - just like the Milo situation though no one gives him grief about it)

[ ] With the help of Angel, David has slowly returned to his old self, from the time when Gabe was still alive (his pack got used to his all bark and almost mean behaviour so it was nice seeing him back) (judged by the talks he had with Milo after Inversion and Ash in the wedding video when they were getting ready)

[ ] Darlin bawled their eyes out at the wedding (they are not the emotional one but just seeing their friends/family that accepted them back after all the shit they put tem through being so happy, they couldn't help but cry.

[ ] Babe is a tattoo artist and did some on Tank (they even offered Sam to tattoo him but he has no appeal for them on himself. On Darlin though? That man is feral for anything associated with his mate

[ ] He has a cowboy hat, it's a well known fact. But I imagine Ash always asks him to dress as Dante from DMC for Halloween because of it (and also begs him to do the dance)

[ ] Hush is Lachlan Sad Rat Jellycat coded. Or Galumphous Seal. He's just really jellycat plushies coded (I had to include him despite not knowing much about his storyline, I saw the jellycat online and it clicked to me)

[ ] Angel has a tramp stamp (not sure of what) (Babe did it)

[ ] Milo hates cardio exercises (still is the fastest wolf out of the pack)

[ ] Sweetheart's favourite fruit is pomegranate. For Milo, they would, without any hesitation, without any mess left (they're a master when it comes to peeling it and choosing the ripest one)

[ ] As stereotypical as it could be, Porter loves red wine. Especially when it's sipped with Treasure by his side on the couch in Treasure's house, legs thrown over his lap. Preferably drank straight from the bottle. He's a gentleman, they can have the first sip though.

[ ] Treasure loves cheesecake.

[ ] Babe is a plant parent - their and Ash's apartment is filled with pots all over it. And one bucket that is home to a huge monstera Ash is not allowed to be nearby - while repotting, he accidentally broke some leaves on it

[ ] Tank/Darlin is a Markiplier fan and watched all his Five Nights at Freddy's videos (projecting much, has anyone seen Iron Lung and wants to talk about it?)

[ ] Bright has a fish tank in their room, they are treating the fish as their therapist (its name is William) (William the King does not know about it)

[ ] Freddie is always overfeeding the said fish

[ ] Freddie is also terrified of the fish at the same time, he says its got weird eyes (it doesn't. He's just weirded out by it for some reason)

[ ] Vincent still has his crown (waiting for nothing, he does not plan on being a Solaire again, not when it means doing things he's against as) (the crown acts as a paper weight on their coffee table, pressing down Lovely's magazines)

[ ] Bright left behind a younger sibling

[ ] Frederick feels like Bright could never forgive him for the decision he made for them (he's not forgetting himself) (in my head, their story goes bitter and bad before there's any sliver of comfort)

[ ] Milo gives the best hugs but it's Aggro who gets most of them

[ ] David once had a pet turtle, nowadays, he has no desire for pets (he has a whole pack of wolves, it's more than enough)

[ ] Even if Sam doesn't need to eat, he still enjoys making and eating French toasts (he has a bit of sweet tooth but not too much)

[ ] Vincent and Lovely go out dancing/clubbing regularly and are the couple on the dance floor

[ ] Porter judges people by what kind of tea they drink (British boy almost got a heart attack when Treasure pulled out the American way of making tea just to spite him after a small argument they had)(he apologised immediately just to prevent the catastrophe)

[ ] Sam has dimples when he smiles.

beyond the grand designs of gods, it was from avior's own flesh that he was drawn. for a fleeting, sacred second, he knew the sanctuary of that body; the thrum of nerves, the chorus of organs. it was a moment brief as a heartbeat, yet it was enough to teach hush the sensation of life, before he was transplanted into a vessel that required none of it.

so hush cannot hate avior; he holds no reason to.

he remembers, on a level deeper than memory, the first rhythm he ever knew. the frantic, mortal cadence of avior’s heart. it was the first drum, the first song. this is why the sovereigns’ "perfect vessel" always felt, in part, like a gilded cage. it is silent, efficient, and cold. it has no drumbeat, no symphony. but avior’s body… was home. it was chaotic, vulnerable, and overwhelmingly alive. it was the first and most authentic truth hush ever knew.
